OPERATING TIPS

Efficient and proper use of a wood stove requires some patience and practice. When starting your fire, it’s important to quickly establish a hot bed of coals to initiate a strong draw of air through the stove and up the flue. Use a generous amount of small tinder when starting a fire in the stove, slowly adding larger pieces of wood. Always open the door slowly to prevent smoke spillage into your tent or shelter. Never start a fire using flammable accelerates such lighter fluid. We strongly recommend operating your stove outside for the first several burns to practice your fire starting technique and optimizing burn temperature and rate using the airflow controls. It’s important that your stove burns hot enough to efficiently combust the fuel- when the stove is burning efficiently, little to no visible smoke should be exiting the chimney pipe. If the chimney is belching thick visible smoke, this is an indication the stove is not burning efficiently. Also avoid overloading the stove with fuel as this can create excessive heat which can warp or damage the stove.  

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Always maintain adequate clearances when using a wood stove in a tent or shelter. We recommend at least 18-inches between the stove and any combustible material. When using a non-combustible heat shield or fireproof hearth, clearances can be reduced by half. We strongly recommend the use of a Triple Wall Pipe Section and a Flashing Kit where the flue exits the tent or shelter. Always ensure the flue exits through a fireproof stove jack and the combustible materials are kept clear of the stove or flue. Whenever possible, secure the legs of the stove using tent stakes, bolts, or other adequate anchors to prevent the stove from tipping over.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Never leave a wood stove burning unattended. The surface of Winnerwell Wood Stoves become extremely hot during use, always wear leather gloves and exercise caution when operating the wood stove. Careful supervision of children and pets is mandatory when operating the wood stove to prevent harm or injury. When children or pets are present, we strongly recommend the use of fence panels or a stove guard to prevent unintentional contact with the stove. Only burn clean, dry, seasoned firewood in Winnerwell Wood Stoves. Burning green wood can result in carbon monoxide which is hazardous to health as well as increase the build up of creosote in the flue pipe which can create the risk of chimney fire. Clean the flue regularly (approx. every 20 hours of burn time) to avoid excessive creosote build up which can inhibit airflow and create the risk of chimney fire. We recommend a Winnerwell Pipe Brush for cleaning the flue. User assumes responsibility for the safe use of this wood stove.

Big, but has its flaws

I bought the Pentagon stove pretty much at launch because i liked the 360 view for our very large hot-tent and the large capacity. I knew it was going to be an awkward size and shape to carry and handle. (and it is)
It is solid and heavy and its great that i can put in standard 16 inch firewood in it, but it is hard to fill the whole thing due to its shape. I feel like i can fit more wood in the nomad.
The chimney in the middle is kind of annoying and doesn't lend for a lot of cooking space, especially for being such a large wood stove.

There are 2 major issues that i have with it.
1. Airflow is pretty bad. there are so many vents you don't really have anyway to really dampen the intake. Even when fully closing the door vent, there is still a lot of air intake. Anytime i open the door in the front, smoke comes out and fills the tent (yes the chimney damper is fully open). the air has to move around the sides to get pulled up into the chimney.
2. The stainless steal top warped really bad on my first controlled burn in. it is very wavy and there are no flat surfaces to put a pot or pan.

I don't know if Winnerwell fixed any of these, but i reached out for support a few times and no one ever responded. I would not recommend this stove and it does not standup to other Winnerwell stoves.

I regret purchasing and wish i would have purchased a different stove. But if Winnerwell would fix the airflow and the top from warping. I would recommend it.

Pentagon Stove Review

PROs - Lots of volume for a big fire and can heat a large tent/space. Rock solid. Can view the fire from multiple angles assuming the glass does not get too much soot on it. Supports the secondary chamber to help maximize efficiency.

CONs - Chimney is in the middle, so can not cook easily on it. Does not tamper down as well since the door does not seal tightly. Cannot put a lot of 16" long wood in it due to its shape. Hard to clean all the ashes out. Heavy and bulky and only for motor camping or a hunting shack.

The Nomad Large is my favorite stove by Winnerwell, and is what I would recommend unless the PROs listed above are very important to you.
